Italian goalkeeping great Gianluigi
Buffona has agreed to return to Parma, the club where he started
his career almost 30 years ago after picking up his 23rd trophy
at Juventus with an Italian Cup win over Atalanta last month,
sources said Monday.
Buffon, 43, widely considered one of soccer's greatest ever
keepers ad a World Cup winner in 2006, has agreed to a romantic
proposal from the American president of Serie B outfit Parma,
Kyle Krause.
Buffon debuted for Parma aged 17 in 1995 and moved to Juve in
2001, where he won a record 10 Serie A titles up to last year,
barring a brief sojourn at PSG in 2018-2019.
Buffon has said he now aims to help Parma return to their glory
days of the late 1990s when they were challenging Serie A's top
outfits, coming second in 1997 and winning two UEFA Cups and one
European Super Cup.
Parma were relegated to Serie B this past season.
